Friends : Your First Committed Relationship

This is one of my "Red Book Theories", which is kind of my views on friends, sex, guys,and life.

Everybody knows that your friends are the family that you’re lucky enough to chose. But in some ways, they are much more than that. Whether or not you would like to admit it, your closest friends are the best pratice you’ll receive for a serious relationship. Because, as one of my closest friends told me, you’re in the mud…together. But honestly, would you want it any other way? Your friends know the bitchy, the crazy, perverted, and the best sides of you. The pratice you get from showing a person the mutliple sides of your personality prepares you the best for romantic relationships coming your way.
